Back in Action!

I think we can all agree it has felt so nice to be starting the new semester with a bit more normality surrounding us! After a long year and a half of COVID-19 restrictions which saw our training and socials severely affected, we are delighted to be back in action and welcoming lots of new and familiar faces.

We kicked off Welcome Week 2021 with the Sports Fair which was able to take place in person this year. Tickets for the sports fair were sold out fairly quickly which just proves how keen we all are to get back to sport and society activities. Our President Bella and Treasurer Eryn represented the club at Bristo Square. They spoke to lots of keen students and spread the word about all our Welcome Week activities. 

Next up we had an outdoor welcome social in the Meadows for new members to come along and meet some of our returning members. We had a great turnout; lots of enthusiasm and curiosity about the club; and we were absolutely blessed with the weather! We were also treated to some free summer flavour Red Bull cans thanks to Red Bull UK.

We started our tasters on the Friday of Welcome Week and we had so much interest we had to put on two more the following week! It was amazing to see our team bouncing again after what felt like forever. Although numbers at the tasters were limited to keep us all safe, it's still feels amazing to be back after almost a whole year of no bouncing at all.

We really enjoyed meeting lots of new faces and welcoming some old ones back! Our tasters went better than we could have expected and we're now back in the swing of training, socials and tramp life as we know and love it. We're looking forward to a great year ahead!
